You're ignoring the fact that what you describe as your ideal isn't necessarily what most other people see as theirs. To me, a situation like you described earlier sounds like the life of a workaholic which most people would find miserable:

To use your words a bit, the challenge is to find the work that doesn't lead you to separate your life into work and play (hobby, etc). Its all just work - make sure you enjoy it for what it is.

I know people who make a living off of things that many people do for free as hobbies (musicians, athletes, etc.) and without fail they still consider it hard work and they relish the breaks they get from it to relax or do other things. You can enjoy and derive immense satisfaction from your work and still not want to do it all the time or have it be your entire life.
